About

This is my blog. I started it in 2008 and it changed my life in a bunch of ways. It brings a new level of reflection to my life – it’s like introspection, but better, because I know you’re going to read it and I have to be a little more careful that my thoughts are defensible. I’m a part of a community of bloggers from which I’ve learned or been inspired to learn almost everything that I now hold as important to now, and this blog is my subscription fee.

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog, particularly your sketches on giving students time and autonomy, serving up the best lessons when least prepared, and your enthusiasm for connecting teaching with programming. As you may recall I taught philosophy for a while but ended up a developer. Your ideas resonate well with my experience.

Hey! I’m going to pass this website along to my students — it is just so smart!

On another note: Beth accidentally closed my Scattergood email and Chris doesn’t think I can get ANYTHING back — I HATE to bother you with this, but if you think Chris is wrong and there’s something I can do, I’d appreciate knowing that.

Trying to make a plan to see Michal – I want to see your house, too! We miss you! Just a few weeks to go!
